Description: | The School’s B.A. programs in Environmental Studies are interdisciplinary programs intended for students interested in studying and working in an environmental area, primarily within the social sciences or humanities. This program offers rigorous academic study of the economic, social, cultural and political forces that drive issues such as species extinction, loss of biodiversity, air and water pollution, and climate change. The interdisciplinary structure of the program provides grounding in scientific literacy while advancing critical thinking skills that will help students to evaluate complex environmental problems and sustainable solutions for improved environmental health and well-being. The major program provides a more in-depth exploration of this field of study. |
